Not entirely what I was expecting, but it was an enjoyable enough read.

A confused concept that bogs down in minutia and makes no sense. Plus the art makes Kong look retarded rather than fearsome. Not in the colloquial sense. Kong looks clinically retarded.

Surprisingly well doneI was quite surprised that, as a longtime planet of the apes fan, that i enjoyed this as much as i did. While it didn't fit perfectly within the apes timeline, it fit well enough. It was better than the recent book takes from the forbidden zone.

For the most part I enjoyed this one, and it could've been 4 stars, but the ending sucked, so I'm subtracting a star.Premise is, what if Planet of the Apes took place within the same universe, and somewhere off shore was Skull Island. The adventures starts when a giant ape corpse washes ashore in the Forbidden Zone. Believing it to be a fallen god, Zira, Cornelius, Zaius, and Ursus and a garrison of gorillas set sail with the hopes of finding out more about the fallen deity. What they find is a

This is such an incredibly wasted opportunity, made all the more disappointing by how well-planned it is. The concept is amazing, and it's written in a way that actually does a pretty good job fitting the story into the gap between Planet of the Apes and Beneath the Planet of the Apes. It even helps to bridge that gap, in fact. Unfortunately, the whole enterprise is more or less sunk by some of the most amateurish writing I've encountered in a professional comic.The attempt to revisit the themes...

This was a lot better than I expected. I'm fact, I thought it was pretty good, and I'm not much for crossovers. Well, crossovers are fun, and I enjoy them, but they're rarely great comics. This was surprisingly a good POTA story.

I got this at the Epiphany Library (New York Public) to read on the train to the Ridgewood Library (Queens) to pick up a book I had on hold there after finishing the book I had been reading. With the bikini babe on the cover, my expectations fror this were quite low, but it's really an extremely thoughtful bridge between Planet of the Apes and Beneath the Planet of the Apes, events that Cornelius, Zira, and Zaius are under a gag order to not mention. Managing to deal with issues of prejudice, re...

Absolutely incredible artwork, simply beautiful. Thought provoking writing as well

This was actually a really strong story up until the ending. The ending just fell flat.The idea is Monster Island has survived the apocalypse that created the Planet of the Apes. When the body of a giant ape washes up on the beach, the apes decide to find out what's going on here and travel to the island. Then the stupid Gorilla Generals mess things up and there's plenty of death and mayhem. Then we have an ending which seems to tie into Beneath the Planet of the Apes, but it was really just con...

Narrazione interessante che però porta a poco. Si tenda di fondere Il pianeta delle scimmie con Kong ma ne esce un gran mischiume dove regna sovrano il senso d'impotenza in cui al solito, un solo personaggio, riesce ad imporsi e spadroneggiare, rovinando il rovinabile.Mi aspettavo sinceramente di meglio perché tutto ciò per ora non porta da nessuna parte, anche guardando a un quadro generale più complesso.

Planet of the Apes is one of my favorites, book and the movies original and the new ones (Walberg's not so much but I did like the ending). Inserting Kong and Skull Island into the story was so well done. I loved the art, too. Loot Crate Edition.

Some comic crossovers work really well, & this is one of them. Here, some of my favourite characters from Planet of the Apes encounter my favourite giant ape. There are times when the story gets a bit bogged down with characters just bickering, but most of it is fast paced & engaging. The artwork is, however, impressive throughout.

If not for the nostalgia involved, I’m not sure I would have enjoyed this book much at all. The writing wasn’t that great; at times it seems a bit confusing, and I was left wondering what was actually supposed to be happening. Other than Kong, I thought the artwork was pretty good; I just didn’t care much for the way he was drawn.

Decent art, decent story. Picks up after the first film and ties in some neat parts of continuity. Could have been more story-centric. I felt like it was padded with some action scenes. Fun read. Worth picking up for big Planet of the Apes fans.

It's Kong. And he's on The Planet of the Apes.What more really needs to be said?Are there some story issues? Some things that just don't make a lot of sense?Cut that out.It's Kong.And he's on The Planet of the Apes.3 freaking stars.

Fascinating premise, but an abrupt ending.

Starts stronger than it ends, but extremely fun and extremely for me. It's essentially a clean one-off what-if, were the direct sequel to the first APES is also King Kong, with Zaius playing a sort of fanatical angle on the Carl Denham role. If you, like me, would buy this based on the cover art alone, you'll probably have a great time.

Cuando vi por internet que existía esta serie me animé a verla pues aunque descabellado sonaba bastante interesante. Y creo que no me confundí, es una historia alternativa mezclada con mundos paralelos probablemente.La acción empieza cuando Taylor se ha ido y quedan el Dr. Zaius, Cornelio y Zira, quienes son notificados de la existencia de un gorila gigante muerto, efectivamente lo ven y se trata de un especimen de tamaño descomunal. Piensan acertadamente que debe haber otros como él y es así qu...

The concept was better than the execution.The premise got me interested. It's a melding of two ape-based franchises. It's a little weird that a Kong corpse is just sitting out in the surf behind the Statue of Liberty ruins. Especially since it's clearly not THAT Kong. The debate about whether Kong is a god was amusing, but didn't really go anywhere.Overall, I was left wondering why a lot of characters did what they did. So many seem to act either recklessly, or against the logic of the moment th...

Two of my favorite franchises collide in King on the Planet of the Apes. Great artwork and coloring, the collection of cover variants was a nice touch as well, complete with old style price stickers. A good story and a fun ride.
